BOMForge – XML-Driven Bill of Materials Composer

📖 How It Works

1. Build Your BOM

Create assemblies and add parts in a hierarchical tree structure. Each part can have details like SKU, quantity, cost, and supplier information.

2. Real-Time Validation

Your BOM is automatically validated as you work. Required fields are checked, and costs are calculated automatically for assemblies.

3. Export Multi-Format

One click generates multiple outputs: Shopping List (grouped by supplier), Cost Summary (hierarchical breakdown), and Assembly Guide (step-by-step instructions).

4. Pure XML Technology

Your BOM is stored as valid XML, transformed using XSLT 3.0. Save and load your BOM files, or share them with others. All data is structured and portable.

🚀 Quick Start: Click "Load Sample" to see an example, or click "+ Assembly" to start building your own BOM!

Parts Tree

Build your BOM hierarchy here. Click items to select and edit. Use Assemblies to group related parts, and Parts for individual components.

No parts yet. Add an assembly or part to get started.

Part Details

Edit selected items here. For Parts: enter name, quantity, cost, supplier, and SKU. For Assemblies: edit the name and view total cost.

Select a part or assembly to edit details.

XSLT Outputs

View generated reports here after clicking "Export All". The XSLT transformations create three different views: parts grouped by supplier, cost breakdown, and step-by-step assembly instructions.
